CHAPTER 129: CHAPTER 126: NOT SATISFIED? THEN KISS ME TWICE

Yun Ran watched as Nangong Mo and Madam Yan went to the pavilion outside the courtyard and couldn’t help being a little flabbergasted.

What are they going to talk about?

Do they need to go that far?

"Ayue, these are the peach blossom cakes and almond crisps that Mother made for you herself."

"And this bottle of Peach Blossom Brew, she brewed it personally as well."

Yan Zichu took out several boxes of carefully wrapped pastries and a bottle of Peach Blossom Brew, with a gentle worry in his eyes, hesitating to speak.

Yun Ran smiled wryly, "Cousin, is there something you want to say?"

Yan Zichu paused slightly, then asked, "Ayue, have you... been crying?"

"Cried for a long time."

Yun Ran: "..."

With eyes like that, who would believe you haven’t cried?

"I did cry, but it really had nothing to do with Nangong Mo, it was truly because of the medicinal powder."

Yan Zichu furrowed his brows slightly, "What kind of medicinal powder is that powerful?"

Yun Ran thought perhaps he wasn’t doubting her, but was genuinely curious?

So, she took out a small glass bottle the size of a finger from the embroidered pouch and waved it in front of Yan Zichu.

"Cousin, do you want to try it yourself?"

"Just a little bit, and you can cry for half a day!"

"What do you think? Want to experience it?"

Yan Zichu: "..."

He pursed his lips and looked at the small bottle, under the sunlight, the powder inside sparkled with a fine sheen, surprisingly pretty.

"Ayue, what is this?"

"Pear blossom with rain! So, cousin, do you want to experience the sensation of a beauty with tears in her eyes?"

"...No need, Ayue. I believe what you said."

"But, this thing is dangerous, you should be careful, don’t hurt your eyes again."

Yun Ran readily agreed, eyebrows curved, her smile radiant.

Yan Zichu quietly watched her, a faint smile rising at the corners of his lips.

Although her eyes were red and swollen, making it seem like she had suffered grievances, one could not disguise the expression in a person’s eyes.

Unlike before, when her eyes were always gloomy and lacking spirit.

Now, her eyes were full of light, like countless stars had fallen into clear autumn waters, dazzling and radiant.

She seemed to be having a good time in the prince’s mansion.

"Ayue, this is the Ice Jade Purple Grass you mentioned last time, I brought it back for you."

Yun Ran looked down at the flowerpot, the leaves thin and elongated, a pale purple with small silver flowers in bloom, very beautiful.

It was the Ice Jade Purple Grass from Yingzhou.

Yun Ran knew that some days ago Yan Zichu went to Yingzhou on business, Lin Wanyue had mentioned it to him.

Only, he brought back the flower, but Lin Wanyue had left.

And she hadn’t seen her master in a long time, wondering if the old man knew she had been struck by lightning and was gone?

If he knew she was gone, he’d certainly be very sad, maybe even hiding away to cry.

"Ayue, do you not like it?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Ran quickly put away her emotions, smiling broadly.

"It’s so beautiful! I love it! Thank you, cousin, for bringing it back from so far away, cousin, you’ve worked hard!"

Looking at her smile, a faint smile also appeared in Yan Zichu’s Mo Yu-like eyes.

"As long as Ayue likes it. It’s no trouble for cousin."

"Cousin, did you encounter anything interesting on your way to Yingzhou? Tell me about it."

...

When Nangong Mo returned, what he saw was:

Under the morning sun and gentle breeze, with the sky high and the clouds thin, the two sat side by side on the rattan chair, talking happily, with an eye-catching flowerpot in front of them.

Especially that girl, smiling so broadly her eyes were like crescent moons!

So happy to see Yan Zichu?

The man’s eyes narrowed dangerously, the depths of his gaze cold and eerie, as if vengeful spirits were floating within.

Yun Ran suddenly sensed an intimidating chill, like a gust of cold wind passing through, making her shiver involuntarily.

She turned her head and saw Nangong Mo stopped at the courtyard gate.

At that moment, the dazzling sunlight enveloped him, casting a golden sheen over his white attire, at a glance, he seemed like a celestial being among the clouds.

But upon closer inspection, that celestial face carried a somber expression, his eyes were gloomy, as if even his hair was emitting a chilling aura.

Yun Ran: "..."

[The damn man is starting to poison the world again!]

[Could it be he was scolded harshly?]

Yun Ran hurried over to push his wheelchair, leaning her head near his ear and whispered:

"Master, did Aunt make things difficult for you?"

The man flicked her forehead, snorting coldly, "Why should Master tell you?"

Yun Ran: "..."

If Madam Yan hadn’t approached, Yun Ran really wanted to give his head a smack.

"Yue’er, you stay well here, Aunt will head back first, I’ll come to see you in a few days."

Yun Ran immediately left Nangong Mo, ran to Madam Yan, and clung to her arm, acting coquettishly.

"Aunt, have lunch with cousin at the mansion before going back! I had them make your favorite fermented rice balls, roasted sweet potatoes, and steamed corn!"

Madam Yan looked at her with a gentle smile, eyes filled with affection, "Yue’er is so filial to Aunt, Aunt is very happy."

"But, I have to help Mrs. Liu next door tailor clothes later on, and cousin and I already ate before we came, let’s stay for a meal next time, okay?"

"Ah? Are you leaving already? Can’t you stay a bit longer?"

Looking at her, Madam Yan couldn’t help but gently rub her hair, "Good Yue’er, Aunt will come to see you in a couple of days, okay?"

A few days ago, hearing from Weixi about Yue’er’s changes, she was skeptical, but now seeing for herself, she truly seemed different from before.

The whole person had become cheerful and fond of smiling, no longer enveloped by that sort of sadness and repression.

Like this, it’s really nice.

Today, having a deep conversation with Prince Qin, he indeed wasn’t as rumored to be, tyrannical and bizarre, cold-blooded and heartless.

Perhaps, he truly could be a good match for Yue’er.

"Prince Qin, I’ll leave Yue’er in your care."

Yun Ran noticed that Madam Yan’s attitude towards Nangong Mo seemed different than before?

Even her gaze at him had softened considerably.

After sending off Madam Yan, Yun Ran couldn’t wait to ask him, "Master, what did you and Aunt talk about?"

The man gently raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a hint of a smile, "Do you want to know?"

"..."

Yun Ran couldn’t help but roll her eyes: [Isn’t that obvious? The damn man is doing it on purpose, right?]

Then she saw the man extend his long index finger, tapping his seductive thin lips, smiling like a beguiling demon.

"If you want to know, you just have to give Master a kiss."

Yun Ran: "..."

[Kiss... How about a brick to your face instead?]

"What? Not satisfied? Then how about you kiss twice?"

"?!..."

Horrified by these words, Yun Ran almost couldn’t resist slapping him.

"Nangong Mo, can you find your lost dignity before speaking?"

"It’s gone far away, can’t be retrieved."

Yun Ran: "..."
